This research is propelled by the urgent need to explore this underexamined area, especially given the critical importance of social sustainability in ensuring equitable and inclusive educational outcomes. To address this gap, this study develops an integrated model that combines the insights of the Technology Threat Avoidance Theory (TTAT), the Technology-Environmental, Economic, and Social Sustainability Theory (T-EESST), and key knowledge management (KM) factors (knowledge acquisition and knowledge application). Using PLS-SEM, the proposed model was evaluated based on data collected through an online survey from 378 university students. The results showed that while perceived threats have a significant negative impact on Generative AI use, knowledge acquisition and knowledge application emerge as critical drivers for its effective use. Interestingly, using Generative AI was found to promote social sustainability significantly and positively. In addition to its theoretical contributions, this study underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of the barriers and enablers of Generative AI adoption, offering valuable insights for various stakeholders aiming to leverage AI tools for sustainable educational outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":"23 1","pages":"Article 101105"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing these gaps, this study aims to explore responsible management education through student perspectives from a Southeast Asian country. Utilizing online platforms and university channels, we recruited 542 students, with 492 valid responses analyzed. Analyzing the students' responses using keyword co-occurrence mapping, we identified a set of thematic clusters that reflect key aspects of responsible management: <em>society</em>, <em>environment</em>, <em>company</em>, <em>business and responsibility</em>, <em>business decision</em>, <em>thing</em>, and <em>goal</em>. These clusters were thematically grouped into a modified triple bottom line for responsible management, comprising <em>organizational</em> (which includes economic and ethical considerations), <em>social</em>, and <em>environmental</em> components. This grouping underscores the importance of economic considerations, ethical decision-making, environmental stewardship, and societal wellbeing in management practice. Building on these findings, we incorporate <em>management</em>—the final component emerging from the clusters—to propose a novel model that merges the triple bottom line with locus of control, forming concentric circles that offer a more robust lens for managerial decision-making. This model highlights the varying levels of control and influence managers have over organizational, social, and environmental aspects, providing a new approach for integrating responsible management into organizational leadership taught through responsible management education. Our study thus makes a significant contribution to advancing responsible management education theory and practice by incorporating student perspectives from the Global South and introducing an innovative model—the <em>concentric locus of control and triple bottom line model</em>—that can be used in responsible management education to shape the managerial outlook of future business leaders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":"23 1","pages":"Article 101083"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142722267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intervention included explicit teaching on critical thinking in accounting and various active learning exercises (both in the classroom and after class), using a flipped classroom approach, simulations, reflection, real-life or practical examples and student feedback. All 459 registered students were exposed to the critical thinking intervention, and evidence of enhanced student engagement was noted. The effectiveness of the intervention was tested using a one-group pre-test-post-test pre-experimental design, using an accounting-related custom-designed critical thinking measurement tool. A total of 95 pre-test and 72 post-test student responses were statistically analysed (voluntary participation in the study reduced the number of participants below the 459 registered students). Participants' critical thinking scores showed a significant increase (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.01) after the critical thinking intervention, indicating that the intervention was effective and that it is possible to develop first-year students’ critical thinking skills by engaging them in specialised active learning exercises.

The outcomes revealed that GenAI presents both prospects and hurdles in the domain of management education. The disruptive nature of this technology brings forth numerous opportunities for acquiring knowledge and augmenting one's cognitive capacity.

Consequently, this study provides pragmatic implications for students, educators, and educational institutions.

Given that only nine out of 237 institutions in Vietnam have been recognized for significant contributions to sustainable development as of 2023, this inquiry is both timely and critical. The paper employs thematic analysis of qualitative interviews to identify four major themes: motivations for sustainable development, cultural factors and leadership vision, policy inconsistency, and internal communication. This study fills a notable gap in the existing literature by exploring both external determinants like policy frameworks and institutional capacities, as well as underexplored internal factors such as organizational culture, stakeholder awareness, and internal communication within the context of business education. The findings have significant implications for enhancing the role of HEIs in promoting sustainability through innovative teaching practices, effective policy implementation, and strategic leadership.
